That's some serious soap opera drama going on in the locker room right now.
As for CP I think he's almost like a Vinny II. Too close to the owner, he needs to go if only for the impression that true change is underway. Plus to state the obvious, his contract is ridiculous and he's past his prime.
Well said. I'm ready for a new start. I think Skins fans are ready for a new start.

If Shanny comes won't that be a reunion for the two, CP and Shanny. If I recall correctly there was little love lost between the two when CP was shipped off for Champ.
CP wanted more money in Denver but I'm not sure how much animosity, if any, there was between Shanahan and Portis because of that. Does anyone have the scoop?

Portis can't be cut soon enough for my taste.

I think Shanahan felt he could turn any RB into gold so they cut ties with CP.

If I recall correctly, there wasn't any huge animosity. Portis just wanted more money, and Kubiak was the real fan of Portis and the guy who pushed for the Broncos to draft him. Not so much Shanahan

i cant believe you guys would be happy starting the season with Betts, Cartwright, and any other scrub. i was listening to a syndicated fantasy radio show this morning, and they said the only people that could name the redskins running backs were fans of the team. if Portis is cast off, we need a top caliber replacement.

Our offense is performing just fine without portis. people need to understand that portis is no longer an elite player and he's simply not worth the headaches.

I think the trend with RBs is that you can find a good one from the 2nd round on. Also, successful running teams are now using a system of two or three RBs. So I don't know why should the team stick with Portis.

I agree, plus RB's now a days are such flashes in the pan. They wear out so damn quick from the beatings.
